Dried apricots

Post by udiraz »

Hi Guys.
Recently I got a little treasure from a good friend - 55KG (~120 lbs) of dried apricots.
I thought about putting it in a barrel and add water and yeast (optional) to ferment, without adding sugar.

On the package it says 60% carbohydrates (60g for 100g serving), of which 30% sugars, and 3.5%dietary fibers.

So, for calculating the amount of water to add in order to get to approximately 20-25 brix, should I consider the 60% carbohydrates (minus the dietary fibers), or 30% sugars ?
Do the yeast consume only the sugars or also the other carbohydrates ?

And in general, what would you do with this little treasure ?


Thank you very much guys,
Udi.
